Can someone identify the makers mark???

Hi everyone!

I recently purchased this pitcher (or what I'm assuming is a pitcher) at a thrift store but I do not recognize the mark on the bottom. The bottom does have a bit of wear & tear & the mark is only partially visible.

Any help would be greatly appreciate!

Thank you!!

 

Just throwing out a guess

Scandinavian pewter?

 

Or Italian pewter.

It's more of a carafe than a plain "pitcher" with that lid.

 

Them's is Greek letters. It's the shape of a middle eastern coffee pot - also Greek or Turksih.

 

Looks to me like it reads 'FINO', would guess a pewter jug from Spain, Portugal, or Italy...

Don't think it's any of those with that shape, Cheryl. It's definitely a middle eastern coffee pot shape.

 

Hi Bear - gotta say, the mark looks pretty much like one on this Italian set:

Fino makes me think Italian or Spanish...

 

Thanks to everyone who has responded!Cheryl, it does look pretty similar to the pic you provided. I'm assuming it's more along the lines of an Italian coffee pot. Again, thanks everyone!

 

It is absolutely not an Italian coffee pot. It's Middle eastern - the closest specific shape is Armenian.

 

Well, I'm on my phone and can't really make a side-by-side composite, but looks like the same mark on the Italian-made set to me, and to my eye it appears to be a jug/pitcher. Quick search finds two copper jugs of similar form, both noted as Italian...

Again, thank you for the responses! I was wondering (if it's even possible) if anyone can give me a time period from when this may have been made?

Thanks!!
